“Sandy (Sandra) Bullock and I saw this facialist in New York, Georgia Louise, and she gives what we call the penis facial,” the actress said, “I don’t know what it is or whether it’s just because it smells a bit like sperm – there’s some enzyme in it, so Sandy refers to it as the penis facial.”

No, you didn’t read that wrong, sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction and two of your favourite Academy Award-winning actresses go for penis facials. And although the name sounds like a cheap porno, there’s actually some truth to it. In an interview with New Beauty, Louise revealed that the facial actually involves microneedling the skin with stem cells derived from the foreskin of Korean baby boys.

“The foreskin is collected during circumcision, and the stem cells are then harvested and extracted through a centrifuge,’ Louise said.

“During the facial treatment, a special electric microneedling wand is used to help the stem cells and peptides absorb deeper into the skin, where active ingredients help stimulate the production of collagen.” Apparently, you walk out with smoother, firmer and brighter skin…and a great story to shock conservative relatives with.

Although the treatment has actually been around for a while– probably just called something a little more subtle - and many skincare products have been found to contain foreskin-derived stem cells, I’m still not sure I’d be game. Celebrities slapping down hundreds for a penis facial, that’s just the world, we live in folks.
